Why free rotation about a `pi`-bond is not possible ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Bonds**: - In chemistry, bonds between atoms can be classified into two main types: sigma (σ) bonds and pi (π) bonds. 2. **Formation of Sigma Bonds**: - Sigma bonds are formed by the head-on or end-to-end overlap of atomic orbitals. This can involve s-orbitals, p-orbitals, or hybrid orbitals. - The overlapping occurs in such a way that the electron density is concentrated along the axis connecting the two nuclei. ...

Ordinarily the barrier to rotation about a carbon - carbon double bond is quite high but in compound P double bond between two rings was observed by NMR to have a rotational energy barrier of only about 20 cal/mol., showing that it has lot of single bond character. The reason for this is

Assertion : Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S_(8) but oxygen exists as O_(2) . Reason : Oxygen forms p pi- p pi multiple bond due to small size and small length but p pi - p pi bonding is not possible in sulphur.
